The study introduces a vine-like, soft robot for non-destructive tracking of green vegetable development using a tracked mobile platform. Although an inbuilt camera and YOLOv9 object detector classify in real time and generate results in four size categories, very small, small, medium, and large, a flexible tube is everted into dense greenery through a pneumatic eversion process. Sensor fusion and hierarchical control are integrated to enable navigation through the complex canopies of crops with accurate control of pressure and direction, and steering. A field trial found 91% mAP detection accuracy at 38 FPS, accurate vine extension (1.2 m @ 4 cm/s), and stable locomotion over uneven terrain, resulting in constant coverage without harming the plants. The system provides a scalable solution for precision agriculture, enhancing crop inspection, disease diagnosis, and harvest planning through continuous data insights. 2026 Elsevier Ltd.
